Working overtime

In an attempt to get to know the newer members of the pack a little better, Artorias had been spending more one on one time with his wolves, trying to learn their interests, motivations, stories, and more about them in general. Today, he had dedicated some time to getting to know Balthier. The Hallows' newest Knight had come form promising stock over in Fenmyre, and given the wolf's history with the Hallows, Artorias was intrigued by the seafaring wolf. It was a cold wintry day that saw the Aegis gearing up for a patrol, running the usual rounds he still tried to maintain despite all the extra work he was putting in tending to his pregnant mate and getting the Hallows prepared for their coming litter. It just wasn't in his nature to stop performing his duties just because he had more things to tend to now.
Artorias had asked Blather to run the patrol with him today in an attempt to build the relationship between himself and his warrior. Chimera had spoken of Balth's skills, but Art was more interested in the mind behind the teeth. A skilled warrior was always a good thing to have, yes, but the Aegis prided himself in knowing the ins and outs of his pack family. After eating a quick breakfast and donning his armor and sword, the alpha awaited his partner outside the castle gates, his fiery gaze scanning the snow-covered fields of the plains. A light snow flurry had begun to fall from the clouded sky, painting a tranquil scene of a winter's day before them. A cold but beautiful backdrop to walk to.
